Although it utilizes the same engine as The Fool's Errand, Are We There Yet? isn't as original or as fun to play as that classic. However, it is a pretty good puzzle game, featuring a diverse array of puzzles (though there are too many jigsaws and word-search puzzles for my taste) that you must solve to unravel the final puzzle.
The plot tells a story of a family travelling through the U.S. (hence you solve one or two puzzle for each State they visit), and as such the game also has a high educational value-- I learn a lot about U.S. tourist attractions :)

We had a copy and I played it but this would become a favorite game of my mother’s. She replayed it through every few years.
I'm getting the "this program can't run on your PC" error when I try to open the application. I tried to run it in different configurations of compatibility mode no to avail. Anyone have any tips? I'm on Windows 11.
for any players who would like/need the walkthrough,
(they feature walkthrough's for some other games on their site too

decent game, somewhat easier to follow than 'the fools errand' and bit more difficult than 'at the carnival' (both i would also recommend)
all have one type of puzzle that is very tricky, (the one that requires clicking the base symbols in a certain order) but good fun especially in short bursts
Interesting
It's so off the mainstream, I'll try it!
